If you read the article properly it does say that all cars still need to be roadworthy, there are plenty of MOTd cars ne and old on the road that are not, the MOT is only a certificate of roadworthyness on the day It's issued. As there are ever increasing VOSA and police roadside check points I don't think you argument holds water as I'm sure these vehicles will be increasngly targeted, not that you see many on the road anyway.
